Starters & alternators from HELLA Comprehensive range with maximum accuracy of fit
Vehicle-specific starter motors and alternators according to OE standard
The starter and alternator are essential components of a vehicle. Also known as starter motors and alternators, they are largely responsible for the reliability and efficiency of a vehicle. A faulty starter motor or alternator can lead to considerable problems. It is therefore crucial for workshops to identify and replace these components at an early stage. HELLA deposit-free starters and alternators are therefore the right choice for automotive professionals.

Starters and alternators from HELLA will win you over with theirpowerful product rangefor work vehicles in the off-highway segment.
How do the starter and alternator work?
Thestarteris an electric motor that starts the combustion engine of a vehicle. It receives energy from the battery and brings the combustion engine up to a sufficient speed via a gearwheel, also known as a pinion, to initiate the starting process and start the engine.
The task of thealternatoris to supply energy to all electrical consumers in the vehicle and also charge the starter battery. The alternator is usually driven by the engine via a drive belt. According to the induction principle, a charging current is generated that supplies the vehicle with electrical energy.
Did you know? Start-stop systems are often used to reduce
emissions. HELLA starters are therefore more generously sized to increase their service life and alternators have a higher output.
Why do starters and alternators need to be replaced?
The starter is subject to natural wear as it contains mechanical and electrical parts. The brushes, bearings and the magnetic switch are particularly susceptible to wear. If the starter motor is worn, the vehicle may no longer start. Common causes of malfunctions are a burnt-out magnetic switch, worn brushes or a faulty pinion. Ageing of components also plays a role, as their performance can deteriorate over the years.
It may be necessary to replace the starter in the following cases:
- Starter not working
- Unusual noises during or after starting
Before replacing the starter, the following components must always be checked by a specialist:
- Power supply (starter battery)
- Cable connections and connectors
- Actuating device such as the ignition starter switch
- Mechanical condition of the ring gear
The alternator can also wear out. Signs of wear and tear are primarily to be seen in the bearings and carbon brushes. If the alternator is faulty, the battery may no longer be sufficiently charged, which ultimately leads to battery failure. In addition, if there is a fault in the diodes or the voltage regulation, this can impair the function of the alternator, which in turn can jeopardise the entire electrical supply of the vehicle.
It may be necessary to replace the alternator in the following cases:
- Charging indicator lamp lights up
- Starting difficulties due to insufficiently charged vehicle battery
- The vehicle battery heats up due to overload
- The illuminance of the headlights fluctuates depending on the engine speed
- The bulbs burn out more quickly than normal
- Unusual running noises can be heard
What HELLA offers
HELLA stands for tried-and-tested quality, easy handling and cost-effective solutions: Our starters and alternators not only meet the strict quality requirements of the HELLA Competence Centre, the range of products is also impressive: with over 1,800 part numbers, HELLA covers around 85% of the passenger car and commercial vehicle market.
